Any recommendation for Sapporo ? Will be heading there in December, staying in Club Med for skiing then few days in Sapporo city. Basically have sorted out the logistics. Any other recommendations like shoppings, eateries, sight-seeing would be much appreciated. Still debating if i should take a train ride to Otaru, as i have only 1 full free day to spare after the ski resort. If i go it would be for seafood, but i feel i can get the same in Sapporo, maybe city prices.

Sapporo Beer Museum  thumbup.gif ; besides the free short self-tour, after that at the eating hall, can buy 3 glasses of Classic, Black Label & Kaitakushi at slight discount .... unless you can't consume alcohol lah.

Can skip Hokkaido Museum (further from Sapporo city centre), relatively nothing much to see for ¥600; but Hokkaido University Museum (nearer) got more things to see, for free ... (got nice milk ice-cream at the university museum cafe).

Eating ... Nijo market ... had my best salmon sashimi (so far in my life, I feel) there (supposedly was Premilum Summer Salmon  laugh.gif , dunno autumn/winter got the same salmon or not)  [attachmentid=10352699]
If you like shiroi koibito cookies, then maybe Ishiya Chocolate Factory is a must.

Sight-seeing ... the usual around city centre okay attractions such as Odori Park, Sapporo TV Tower, Clock Tower, Former Hokkaidō Government Office ... those instagrammable places.

December ... not yet Sapporo Snow Festival ... too bad.

Otaru ... main attraction is the canal ... seafood, ya, maybe Sapporo can get the same quality (Nemuro on the other hand, seems fresher, maybe placebo thinking ... but that's too far away) ... I guess if you're a fan of the movie "Love Letter (1995)", maybe it's another must.

Thanks! great info !

My only worry is I will be driving from CTS airport to ski resort then 3 days later to Sapporo city. Just hope the road condition is not too bad. I did drive in the US in the winter before, but over there they do salt the highway. Worst case will go 40-50 km/h. 2hrs becomes 4 hrs drive.

Watched a few youtube vlogs, seems like the must eat are Uni, Red King / Hairy Crab, BBQ lamb. Not too crazy about the uni and crabs but will try. Ramen and sushi is my thing, and the roast meat .
